Dallas Homes Draw 2nd Largest Population Growth in US

Posted: 30.11.2008 | Views: 165

Dallas Fort Worth has experienced the 2nd largest gain in population over the past eight years, narrowly edged out by Atlanta. The population burst is attributed to quality and affordable housing.1.16 million people have migrated to Dallas to take advantage of Dallas’ robust economy, stable -- if not growing – job market, and extraordinary values in housing.A study by The Dallas Morning News by ESRI, a Redlands, CA demographic and geographic systems company, predicts continued growth through 2013. Dallas had become the destination of choice for younger individuals who are seeking to improve their income and quality of living."The growth is highly diverse in ethnicity and income.” said Edmond Ting, ESRI's manager of data development. “And while D-FW may not be drawing many retirees, as Florida does, it's attracting vibrant age diversity. It is increasingly attractive to young professionals looking for a better lifestyle."Dallas communities have responded to the growing population by continuing to build new Dallas homes – many of which are twice the size of homes in most other regions for half the price. Typically when compared to other metro areas of population size and diversity, home prices are double and even QUADRUPLE of that of Dallas Homes' prices for a comparable square footage.Dallas also continues to invest in community and education to support its growing community of young influential professionals. Dallas boasts many first-rate educational institutions, from preschools to colleges.
